The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

After arranging the retreat, Darius led his troops to set out first, following the same route through the Aya Mountains. When the returning Norse army had traveled more than halfway, night fell.

Some officers also suggested to the commander-in-chief Darius that they should set up camp on the spot and continue to withdraw after nightfall.

"No, it's not possible." Darius rejected the officers' suggestion directly.

"What our army needs to do now is to retreat as quickly and safely as possible! We cannot waste another night here.

Everyone, listen to my orders and continue marching. The sooner we reach the rear, the sooner the troops will be safe," Darius ordered solemnly.

Under Darius's strong request, the officers had no choice but to obey orders and the troops had to continue marching at night. However, this also caused some dissatisfaction among the troops, and the marching speed at night was extremely slow.

Whenever Darius asked to speed up the troops' march, the officers would prevaricate by saying that the road was unfamiliar, it was dangerous at night, and they needed to march carefully.

Faced with this situation, Darius could not completely use his power to force his officers and soldiers to carry out his orders. In the current situation, although the army was marching very slowly, it was at least moving forward.

In this way, after a night of marching, the army of the Kingdom of Norse finally approached the end of the march.

Darius in the army was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when an extremely serious problem arose.

"General, it's bad! The pass has been occupied by the rebels." The messenger who rushed over was a little panicked.

"How is this possible!" Darius felt dizzy and depressed.

Not only Darius, but all the officers who knew about this were completely thrown into disarray. Many officers gathered at the front to verify the truth of the matter.

"Everyone make way." The messenger called out to the officers who were blocking the road.

Some officers were about to get angry, but when they saw the figure behind the messenger, they all gave way. Yes, it was Darius who still didn't believe in evil.

When he saw the red flag flying above the pass like everyone else, Darius seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Only then did he truly believe that the pass had been occupied by the revolutionary army.

At this time, the defending revolutionary army also discovered their arrival, and commanders of the revolutionary army such as Daomei and Li also went up to the city wall to confront the invading army of the Kingdom of Norse.

Darius finally accepted the fact at this time. As a qualified commander, after a brief panic, the next thing he had to do was to continue with the battle plan.

The current situation is extremely critical for the Norse Kingdom army. Darius no longer hesitated. The retreating army still has an advantage in numbers compared to the defending army.

Darius looked at the officers who had lost some confidence and shouted, "Everyone, prepare to attack. If we can't break through the pass, only failure will await us. In order to win this battle, the Imperial Army must go all out!"

Under Darius's command, the officers came back to their senses, and the Norse army, which had just rested for a short time, immediately mobilized and formed an attack formation.

The revolutionary army on the city wall was also a little nervous. The defending garrison was still insufficient. The number of attacking Norse Kingdom troops was more than twice that of the defenders. In addition, the defenders had to withdraw troops to watch over the prisoners, making the number of defenders even more insufficient.

However, this was not the worst. More importantly, the defenders did not have enough gunpowder. Although the original defenders were easily defeated, they still had time to destroy the gunpowder and ammunition in the barracks.

This also resulted in the cannons in the camp being unusable, and the defenders could only rely on the ammunition carried by the prisoners as supplements. If the ammunition ran out, they could only use cold weapons to fight the enemy.

Fortunately, the attacking Norse army was not well prepared. In order to march quickly, the attacking army did not carry heavy firepower such as artillery. Moreover, after a night of marching, the attacking troops only rested for a short time, which could be said to be a tired army.

On the other hand, although the defenders had also fought all night, they had also rested for half a night. In comparison, they could be said to be well-rested.

In this way, under the supervision of Darius Guards, the attack of the Norse army began.

First, the musketeers of both sides fired at each other. The firepower of the Norse Kingdom army was obviously greater and more powerful. However, the defending revolutionary army was not bad either. With the advantage of the high ground, the two sides were evenly matched in the first round of fighting.

Under the cover of muskets, the infantry of the Norse Kingdom army also launched an attack. Using simple ladders, the fight between the two sides became fierce.

The two sides fought fiercely in the morning. As the temperature rose from the coolness of the morning to the gradually rising sun, both sides seemed to be sweating profusely.

Although the attack of the Norse Kingdom army was fierce, it was still repelled by the revolutionary army's defenders.

Seeing that the attack was repelled once again, many commanding officers became anxious.

However, Darius was still very steady. He keenly noticed that the firepower density of the Revolutionary Army was decreasing, and the defenders on the city wall were no longer obsessed with firing at the firepower cover troops of the Kingdom of Norse, but instead focused on the attacking infantry.

At this time, Darius had already noticed that the defenders might be short of ammunition, so he ordered his troops to continue attacking without rest and to attack in dispersed groups to consume the defenders' firepower.

In this way, the scope of the war escalated again, and the revolutionary army on the city wall gradually felt the strain.

At this time, a small group of revolutionary soldiers who were fighting suddenly stopped their firepower output. It turned out that they had run out of ammunition.

Darius, who was watching from below, keenly noticed this weakness and ordered all the troops to attack. At the same time, he personally led the guards as a commando and launched a fierce attack on that weakness.

Seeing that the attack of the Norse Kingdom's army suddenly intensified, all the defenders were too busy to cope with it. The small group of revolutionary soldiers could only go to get ammunition themselves, while Darius had already led his men to the city wall.

When the defenders on the city wall were ready to regroup, Darius had already led the guards to rush towards the city wall.

"Make good use of every flaw!" Darius, who had climbed onto the city wall, calmly ordered the guards to control the wall to receive the troops.

At this time, the main force of the Revolutionary Army noticed that this section of the city wall had been lost. As the commander, Sword Girl rushed to the battlefield without hesitation.

"Comrades, there is no way to retreat. We must hold the city wall now." Daomei said as she looked at the retreating revolutionary army, "We will definitely win this battle!"

Daomei personally led the team to reinforce and finally stabilized the front line. Both sides had abandoned firearms on the battlefield and used cold weapons to fight each other.

In the fierce confrontation, as time went on, victory gradually shifted to the side of the revolutionary army. After all, the revolutionary army had more time to rest.

Seeing that the guards were suppressed by the revolutionary army, Darius could no longer stand it. For this attack, he mobilized all the fresh troops in the army. Even the guards who were originally serving as the supervisory team were sent to the front line to attack.

At this time, he looked at the flying sword girl on the battlefield. Darius made up his mind and decided to fight the enemy commander.

The sword girl, who was concentrating on the battle, suddenly had an idea and twisted her body into a angle to avoid a heavy battle axe.

The commanders of both sides began to confront each other on the front line, and the other soldiers who were still fighting also more or less turned their attention to this battlefield.

Especially Darius's guards. They were originally retreating, but when they saw their commander personally taking to the battlefield, they regained some morale and withstood the offensive of the revolutionary army.

At this time, both Irelia and Darius knew that the outcome of this battlefield would be decided in their hands, and both sides were ready for a fight to the death.

Darius attacked first, slashing his battle axe directly at Irelia. Just as Irelia quickly jumped away, Darius actually used the battle axe to spin around.

Such a heavy weapon was as easy to use as an arm in his hand. "Rotating Flying Axe! Die in my hands." Darius shouted angrily.

Daomei did not hold back either. She first used martial arts to strengthen her entire body, making it as hard as steel. Then she used the moves she had learned in the last battle.

"Dance of Distance Breaking!" Irelia shouted, using her charged energy to enter a defensive stance, directly blocking Darius's battle axe.

Irelia also took advantage of the gap in the blocking and fought back bravely, using her agile body and slashing at Darius with a sharp blade.

Darius used his weapon to block Irelia's attack, and then the attack from both sides lost all skills in the short distance.

At this time, the familiar feeling came back in Irelia's heart, the same feeling she had during the battle with Garen, as if she had grasped something.

After repelling Dreyer with the flying blade in her hand, Knife Girl fell into a state of enlightenment. From Darius's perspective, after the opponent repelled him, for some reason, he just stood there motionless.

Darius certainly couldn't miss this opportunity, and with veins popping out of his chest, he said, "I don't know what distracted you on the battlefield, but I will never tolerate cowardice!

Next, use this move to end the battle and die in my hands."

Darius slammed the axe to the ground, and after a brief build-up of strength, he suddenly jumped into the air, "Take it, Imperial Guillotine - Execution!"

Just as the battle axe was about to chop down, Daomei finally opened her eyes, "I feel it, this time, it's your defeat!"

Daomei's heart moved slightly, and all the flying blades on her body rushed into the air swiftly, "True will cannot be defeated! Life Return·Vanguard Blade!"

The flying knives in the air were driven by the sword girl's mental power and all slashed towards Darius in the air.

Darius couldn't hold on in the air and fell directly to the ground, but he didn't give up at this time and still held the battle axe tightly in his hand.

Daomei did not give up this opportunity and rushed forward directly, "Let's end it here! Evil must be slain!"

The sword girl slashed at Darius with the flying knife in her hand, and the sword girl turned around like a graceful dancer without looking at him again.

The axe handle was cut off and the axe head fell to the ground. Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Then came the deafening cheers of the victors and the hasty retreat of the defeated.

As the enemy retreated, raindrops began to fall. It seemed as if the rainy season had arrived early.

Under the heavy rain, the smell of blood disappeared, and the new tender leaves on the battlefield revealed a sense of vitality.
